We went with our teenagers in search of street art and found plentiful amounts! Stunning architecture, shady squares for a nice coffee break or Fanta Lemon! The only thing I would recommend is trying to find a walking tour or map of where the main examples are located and who painted them. It just makes the walk of discovery more interesting.

The oldest part of the city where you can see some very old architecture among the most incredible street art as well. A very interesting dichotomy between ancient and modern. There are so many places to explore within el Karni. It is definitely worth a visit and really captures the essence of Valencia in a lot of ways

We rarely saw so much stunning and original street art as in this old barrio. Take your time to stroll around the lovely little streets and squares.

This area consists of a maze of little streets with shops and street art. Our guidebook included a short walking tour of the streets so that we didn't miss anything

Don't miss this wonderful and historic quarter of the city - filled with wonderful old buildings with stunning architecture with tons of shops and cafes to suit all different tastes. The area is perfect for a stroll at any time of day or night - and perfectly safe for a woman on her own.

Don't hesitate to leave some time during your visit to Valencia to walk around the streets of Barrio del Carmen and admire the historical buildings. Specially recommendable to visit the "Almoina" museum , just behind the Cathedral.

It's one of the largest medieval quarters in Europe so you find lots of stunning architecture. It's the perfect place to stroll around and also has lots of great eating options.

I think you will have no problems there. The city of Valencia is very safe, I have lived there for a year now and explored many different areas, even the further "ghetto" areas without any problems. Enjoy and explore the city to the fullest, you will love it!

Waar kan je parkeren als je een paar uur over hebt tot huurauto inleveren en vlucht gaat om door de wijk El Carmen te slenteren en te ontdekken?

Pfff moeilijk, wij hadden de auto pas later gehuurd en hebben alles met de metro gedaan maar aan de kust, vlakbij de metro station en het einde van de droge rivier is een groot winkelcentrum en een paar grote flats van een buitenwijk. Ik neem aan dat je daar gratis kan parkeren.

Ciao Federica,fortunatamente Valencia è collegata molto bene da un quartiere all'altro con mezzi pubblici. Cmq il Barrio del Carmen si trova vicino al Mercado Central..

Better stay at home. Do not suffer. Life is too short.

Hola Carlos, quisiera saber si la zona de la calle Gil Polo, es recomendable y si por la noche se puede dormir.

Es una calle estrecha y pequeña, y por la zona hay diversos bares pero en lineas generales por la noche no es una zona especialmente ruidosa.
Actualmente la normativa de pubs y bares hace que cierren bastante antes que hace tiempo. El Carmen era mucho más movido hace varios años.
